Our Story
“This place met a need. There was no soul food in South Waco and now there is. This was the right thing to do. Integrity is my motto – Doing the right thing when nobody's looking.”
Opening up Jess Soul Food has always been a dream for owner Jessica Horne. In 2003, Jessica bought her first piece of commercial equipment, believing that one day her dream would become reality. She put it in storage, and through the years, began accumulating new pieces until she had enough equipment to open her business. “It’s been a long-time goal. Even when I was little, I was always in the kitchen trying to learn.
Here at Jess Soul Food our passion for soul food runs deep, and every dish we serve is a labor of love, prepared with cherished family recipes and quality ingredients. Our owner Jess has fulfilled her longtime goal of being her own business owner by opening her own restaurant here in Waco, Tx.
Located at 810 La Salle, Jess Soul Food is proud to bring soul food to South Waco.
